Greenscents (eco cleaning/laundry (including unscented)

Greenscents is a nice range of eco-friendly cleaning and laundry products, all sold in glass bottles that you can send back for washing and refilling (including bulk orders). It does also offer scented items, but the unscented range is ideal for babies, pets, pregnancy/nursing and allergies.

Don’t handle glass with wet hands.

They are sold in 500ml bottles with aluminium lids (and a one-time purchase of a head). Then buy 5 litre and 20 litre refill containers (you can decant into bottles, and send empty containers off for refilling).

• Use with plastic-free cleaning cloths & sponges/scourers.
• Use unscented products for pregnancy/nursing, baby and pet bowls. Citrus oils in particular are toxic to pets (even if rinsed and dried, residue could be licked from paws). Alternatively clean, rinse and dry with unscented cleaning vinegar and baking soda). 
• Never mix vinegar or lemon juice with any bleach (causes toxic gas). 
• Replace chlorine bleach with natural oxygen bleach to remove tea/coffee cup stains. never mix any kind of bleach with acid (lemon or cleaning vinegar) as it causes toxic gas.
• You can recycle empty toxic cleaning bottles at kerbside (for bottles with product, dispose of at your council’s hazardous waste department).

Glass Cleaner delivers a sparkling shine to windows, mirrors, splashbacks, picture frames and shower screens, to lift away dust, grease and finger marks. Read how to help stop birds flying into windows.

Greenscents Washing Up Liquid is sold in glass bottles that you can send back for washing and refilling (there are also natural scented versions, but the unscented is ideal for pregnancy/nursing and washing baby/pet bowls).

Fruit and Veg Wash is ideal to remove pesticides, bacteria, dirt and wax (did you know that most non-organic apples are covered in shellac insects, to make them shiny?) This gentle formula helps reduce exposure to listeria, E.coli and salmonella.

Perfect for fruits, leafy greens, berries and salad veg (cantaloupe melon is high salmonella risk, so use separate tools and store separately from other foods).

Bio-D Biodegradable Unscented Cleaners (sold in shops)

Bio-D Fragrance-Free Cleaners are another choice, sold in health and farm shops, where you can take back bulk containers for refilling. It’s best to use their fragrance-free versions, as some of the scented versions contain artificial fragrance. There are over 700 refill points across the UK.
